i set up a web calendar http://cartman.lucidera.com. unfortunately, as i type this connection to roadrunner from UCSD is shot, so i cannot make too much changes. i'll play with colors and background later.



my ddr ignition pads have been collecting in dust because i kinda got tired of just trying to play with the problems it had. the company that made them have come out with better foam inserts, and i ordered 2 for $54 after shipping and left them the comment.



"i bought 2 first versions of ignition pads from you guys, and after about a week, they were almost unusable. I sent you guys a detailed description, and you never got back. I'm spending another $54.30 for 2 foam inserts + shipping and hoping for a miracle. You guys should give these out for free to people who have purchased the very flawed ignition pads (first version)."



and they actually got back to me and said they will not be charging me for the inserts or the shipping. that was good news to hear this morning. i'm gonna guess that it's not gonna solve the problem with the pads, but it should extend some play time before the pads start failing. also good news because DDR MAX for PS2 is coming just around the corner.
